In the vein of the rest of your project, for me I'd rather see a
copy-pasteable response here:

"Use 'git add -f " + name + "' if you really want to add them."

That is, if you know the name of the file that was being added here, you
could provide it so the user can simply copy and go, rather than
retyping.
